Effect of Wall Compliance and Permeability on Blood-Flow Rate in Counter-Current Microvessels Formed From Anastomosis During Tumor-Induced Angiogenesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tumor blood-flow is inhomogeneous because of heterogeneity in tumor vasculature, vessel-wall leakiness, and compliance. Experimental studies have shown that normalization of tumor vasculature by ...
Microstructure and Reinforcement Mechanism of Lignin-Modified Loess
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To develop a new modification method with environmentally friendly and seismically resistant characteristics for saturated loess foundations, lignin extracted from paper industrial wastes was selected for mixing into the ...
g-C3N4/TiO2 Photocatalyst and Its Performance of NO Degradation in Emulsified Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study prepared one g-C3N4/TiO2 composite photocatalyst by calcinating a mixture of melamine and nano TiO2, and then mixed it with asphalts to photodegrade the NO produced by automobile exhaust. The melamine and TiO2 ...
Adhesion of Warm-Mix Recycled Asphalt Aggregate Mixtures Based on Surface Free Energy Theory
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study proposed an adhesion model that incorporates effects of a warming asphalt agent, asphalt, and aggregate in a nonwater or water environment according to the surface free energy theory. The results indicated ...
Application of Design-Expert Response Surface Methodology for the Optimization of Recycled Asphalt Mixture with Waste Engine Oil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, waste engine oil was used as the base oil to produce a competent rejuvenator for the recycled asphalt mixture based on the Design-Expert surface response method. From the surface response in terms of ...
Influence of Coarse Aggregate Morphological Properties on the Performances of Warm-Mix Asphalt Containing Recycled Asphalt Pavement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The properties of asphalt and aggregate in the warm-mix asphalt (WMA) containing recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) are critical to the mixture performances. This study quantified the effects of the morphological properties ...
Evaluating Recycling Efficiency of Plant-Asphalt Mixtures Containing RAP/RAS
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the continuing increase in the use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) for highway construction, there is a concern over how much of the aged asphalt binder inside RAP/RAS can be ...
Investigation on the Pressure Fluctuation Characteristics for a Regenerative Flow Pump Under Different Blade Arrangements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flow in the regenerative flow pump (RFP) is usually featured by unsteady flow fluctuation and complex interference efficacy. Two pump models with various blade arrangements were investigated in this study to explore ...
